Find the money your business is leaving behind.

Avincia Advisory works with owner-led retail, hospitality and consumer businesses to lift margin, free up cash and turn around performance — led by someone who has built, scaled, exited and rescued them for 30 years.

No obligation. If I don't believe I can add real value, I'll tell you.

Sound familiar?

Profitable on paper. Doesn't feel like it.

Most owner-led businesses don't have a growth problem. They have a margin, stock and focus problem hiding in plain sight. That's exactly what I find — fast.

01

Margin is leaking

Sales are fine but the money isn't landing at the bottom line, and you're not sure where it's going.

02

Cash is tight

Too much capital tied up in stock, slow-moving lines and a buying process that runs on habit.

03

Growth has plateaued

What got you here has stopped working, and the next move isn't obvious.

04

The business runs you

You're across every decision, the team leans on you, and stepping back feels impossible.

05

You're thinking of buying

An acquisition is on the table and you need a clear-eyed read on what you're really getting.

06

You're thinking of selling

You want to exit well — clean, profitable and worth what you've built.

About Avincia

I've built them, grown them, rescued them and sold them.

I'm Robbie Lewis. Over 30 years I co-founded and scaled Adreno — a specialty retailer — from a start-up to more than $30M in turnover across six stores and e-commerce, then exited it. I've led multi-site growth for agricultural, motorcycle and outdoor retailers, and taken major consumer businesses through their toughest moments, including global liquidations for Hudson's Bay Company, Masters and Pumpkin Patch.

Most recently I led the commercial growth of Distillery Road Market, a 10,000m² hospitality and retail precinct, and I invest in and advise high-growth ventures. That mix — builder, operator, turnaround specialist and investor — is what I bring to every business I work with.

Avincia is deliberately boutique. I work with a handful of owners at a time, hands-on, focused on outcomes you can measure in dollars.
